Hi, I have come to accept the title of retired ( long story ). I have started to learn how to quilt.( short story ) Now I need a buddy to hang out with. Anyone want to take me on?

In Illinois close to St Louis.

I would love this... but I'm in Minnesota.... pout

I'm too far away from you, otherwise I would love to also!

oh we are so in the same boat, just wished our boats were closer!

I have no one either, tired of going to shows etc alone:( Wish we were closer.....

Hi, I live just west of St Louis...in St. Charles. I love to take trips to quilt shows, quilt shops, quaint shopping areas..etc.

wouldn't That be fun? maybe you could move to tinkerVille? :-)

Come to Texas, we will have a great time.

Wish I was close to everyone, what fun quilting parties we could all have! :lol:

I to would love a quilting buddy but i live in Michigan

Move to Maine.

You are about one hour from me. We sometime go to old St Charles. We are involved in history.

I also would love to take on a quilting buddy..but i am near Detroit. :(

Same here. Would like quilting buddy. Maybe we need to hang out in chat room or IM each other.

Never had a quilting buddy ... what do you have in mind?

I wish you were closer. I'm in Michigan. I'm sure you will find someone.

Jump into the chat room. Fun to visit with other quilting "friends".

I wish you were closer!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it would be nice if there were a retired community of quilters. All that would be needed it $$$$, sewing machine and goodies with coffee....

I would LOOVE an in person sewing buddy.. Mine live in MI and I am wayyyyy down here in NC but we do chat and work on projects together via the web and cameras.... phones work to.... we catch up when we can and the neatest part is to discuss and work out quilt problems and ideas with someone who knows EXACTLY what I am talking about... LOVE MY MI FRIENDS and yes 2 of them came from this board!

Hope you find your sewing buddy. I live in Chicago, and my mom is my sewing buddy. I'm drawing her back in after she had a few years of not sewing much. She was my quilting buddy 15-20 years ago too.

I am looking for the same frog90, but I live in Texas.

Would love to but way way away from you (down in Alabama)!

Me too, but I am in Western Mountain Maryland. :-)

I would love to have a quilting buddy, but you are so far away.... :-(

I would love to have a quilting buddy too. but I am to far away. rats

Ask some of your local fabric stores for names of local quilt guilds. I think you could find some willing ladies to help you.

Me too I'm in Michigan and it get lonely sewing alone all the time.

I was thinking the same thing. What did you have in mind?

Hi I live in Caseyville pm me

What a nice idea. I belong to a guild and have a friend that comes to shows with me but she is a sometimes quilter. I would love to have someone close byt to bounce ideas and share with also.

I would love to have a quilting buddy. I'm in western North Carolina.

Lynn :roll:

Frog 90, When I moved, newly retired, I started quilting as a way to meet people. I took a beginner class (8 weeks), then was asked to join our local guild. Many quilt shops have "free sew" days or "quilt till you wilt" days or nights that are great opportunities to meet new people with similar interests. I had to force myself to talk w/people, ask questions like how long they've been quilting etc. Now I have lots of quilting buddies that I can call to go shopping, ask about fabric colors, swap fabrics, tools etc.

If you were in Montana I'd invite you to join us for free sew Wednesday or our next guild meeting.

I hope you find a buddy soon.

I have quilting buddies, all of you guys.

hope you find one -- it's great -- I found mine here and we email most days and exchange pictures and just chat -- and we get together since she lives only a few miles away -- good luck

I am in Oregon or I would also sew with you. BTW I am jelous that you are retired. I still have at least a decade before I can say those wonderful words.

I think Idaho is too far away also!!! But hey, that's why we are on this list...Sane quilters are easier to find in any one area...but being a Crazy Quilter, I rarely find anyone in my area...I know of one in Utah and a couple in Colorado...

Hey, I'm in WNC where are you?

Love your pics !! I have done some crazy patch, I enjoy it . No points or seam to match exactly & the embellishments are only restricted by your imagination. :thumbup:

yep...that's why I love it...I am a free spirit type...so I guess it fits me...thanks for viewing my pics...
